Lake Ellertshäuser

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful path leads all the way around Lower Franconia's largest lake. The lake is a great place for a break. You can grab a snack at the kiosk and, if the weather's nice, sit on the sandy beach.

May 9, 2022,Rhön RR: Ellertshäuser See Runde

One of my favorite rounds, via Reichenbach to Münnerstadt and on to Poppenlauer, Massbach to the Ellertshäuser See.
Unfortunately, the lake area is currently closed because the lake has been drained and needs to be refilled.
But you can also sit beautifully in the beer garden across from the parking lot.
Then it was the same way back. 😉
